2011 NFL Scouting Combine Thread

[SHOGUN]

Disappointed that Smith isn't competing.

Guys who keep catching my eye: Jame Carpenter, Will Rackley, Stefen Wisneiwski.

Anthony Castonzo is so smooth while Marcus Cannon and Gabe Carimi looked stiff.

Shocked to see Dontay Moch come in at 248 and Marcell Dareus having the size of nose tackle.

WHO THE FUCK IS VIRGIL GREEN?

VIRGIL GREEN THE NEXT GREAT TE IN MADDEN

 

[EmpireWF]

A Syracuse olineman ran a good 40...look out Raider fans

 

[Leftwich]

This is a good TE draft IMO. Julius Thomas, Lance Kendricks, Kyle Rudolph (who isn't participating today), Luke Stocker and Virgil Green look like some damn good TE's.

EDIT: I'll add DJ Williams to that list as well.

Ryan Mallett did his best Ryan Leaf impression at his press conference today.

The reviews of Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett's media session are not kind. Writers comparing him to Ryan Leaf -- and not in a good way. #NFL

Freeman at the Combine: Ryan Mallett met with the media. Came across as a stone, cold punk.

Don't trust #Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett...end of story, guy rubs me the wrong way and he wouldn't be on my draft board. Period. #NFLDRAFT

Mallett on where drug rumors started: "When I saw that stuff, I laughed about it." Yeah, that's a mature response.

How do you respond to accuracy/decision-making questions: "7,000-plus yards and 60 touchdowns in two seasons. That’s how I respond to that."

Ryan Mallett's press conference...ouch - CBSSports.com

The Ryan Mallett press conference was one of those scenarios where everyone in the room is eventually looking at each other with wide eyes that seem to say, “Ehhhhhh…..there’s something not right about this guy”. Obviously, it’s pure speculation.

Mallett was immediately asked about the drug abuse allegations (“Wow, first question, huh?” he said.) He wouldn’t discuss it but did acknowledge that the timing of these reports was not a coincidence.

Mallett said he could throw the ball 80 yards and touted his collegiate numbers when asked one of those “prove it” questions. With proper body language, it would have been confidence speaking. But from Mallett, it unfortunately seemed more like arrogance.

All in all, the buzz around the media center is that Mallett’s content wasn’t great and his delivery was even worse. Mallett has one of those clichéd chips on his shoulder, but not the kind of chip that could one day inspire him. More like the kind of chip that makes a group of reporters decide there’s just something they don’t like about you.

Wow, Mallett can kiss any possibility of that Day 1 selection goodbye

 

[SHOGUN]

Linebacker sizes....

How about Von Miller coming in from 237 to 246?

Nice to see Kelvin Sheppard and Nate Irving maintain their respective weights from the Senior Bowl.

I was already worried about Justin Houston being more an end than rush linebacker, but with him weighing in at 270 it concerns me even more. Same with Ryan Kerrigan. He looked stiff as hell at the Senior Bowl standing up and he comes into the Combine 10 lbs. heavier.

Aldon Smith has some of the longest arms in the defensive class. Very interested in how he works out.

Nick Fairley only came in at 291. That's a bit lighter than expected.

Kenrick Ellis is huge.

 

[Rayman]

Wow. God speed to the team that takes a shot on him.






Please don't. Jerry :screams:

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Ryan Mallett is undraftable, IMO. I just took him off my Big Board completely.

 

[Mogriffjr]

Really liked Houston for the Jets as a LB but 270 is huge for him. Smh

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

anybody have video of the Mallett conference? Virgil Green was impressive physically but I didn't like the routes, like Mayock was saying the guy looks stiff as hell... He would get laid out trying to go across the middle in the NFL if he runs like that... and I think he's undersized really not even breaking 6'4" is the same concern I have with Williams being a shorter TE. then again Aaron Hernandez had a good rookie campaign and is shorter than both of them.

 

[inthecards21]

Whereas Ryan Mallett is getting panned for his presser at Indy, reviews from some teams on his private interviews are pretty favorable.

 

[NAHSTE]

Any list of 40 times posted online yet? Just switched over. From what I saw, Terrance Toliver posted a 4.54 and Torrey Smith was high 4.3s.


Edit- and Julio Jones just broad jumped 11'5''. Woooooow.

Julio Jones ran a 4.39 40.

Kid just made himself lots of $.

 

[SHOGUN]

PP7 weighed in at 219.

So much for wanting to weigh in around 208. He's heavier than most safeties.

Jimmy Smith has good size also at 6-2, 211.

Brandon Harris looks tiny in comparison at barely 5-10 and 191.

The 3-cone and shuttle drills are gonna be YOOGE.

 

[mgoblue2290]

I know its not an in-game situation. But Tolzien, #16, looks pretty good on these throws.

 

[EmpireWF]

Mallet looked as good as can be throwing today.

 

[Rivers17ncsu]

I thought Owen Spencer looked nice


and yea Julio definitely helped himself out, smh at that guy saying he wasn't a first rounder

 

[Leftwich]

Mallet looked as good as can be throwing today.

Even though he looked great his attitude is dropping his stock.
